Okay!

All you UK Yes Fanatics out there...We Gotta get our Dreams,Wishes, Needs, Wants and VOICES Heard by the Band, their Management etc....

So What we have to do is 'Make a concerted avalanche of e-mails and any other possible means of communication to let them know..touring here for 8 - 10 Gigs every Winter just isn't honouring the fans of Yes Music in Britain...(their land of birth!!)

So between us ALL maybe we can come up with e-mail addresses - where we know the messages will get through
Telephone numbers - I don't have a single one..but if I get one ..I will USE IT!!

Is anyone out there listening and willing to get off their A*** to achieve this ??

Come On You YES FANS !!!!


'No one man has ever achieved or manifested his dream without the help and support of another human at some point in the search/journey'....

Who's WITH ME ???


KOKOPELLI.

A good idea, but it is a shame that Yes sold only 11.500 copies of Magnification in their country of birth. So I doubt if they are interested. Maybe you can start some promotion actions Kokopelli to raise the sales, then you will have more chance they would come! Good luck and if they come to Brittain I will be there!!

I've seen those sales figures posted elsewhere and can't believe they can be that low. How many attended the British concerts? Surely a hell of a lot more than that !

Count me in kokopelli - if you can find out who to target.

I'm in for it.

So thats one Welsh Yesfan, a Scot and a Englishman.

And we also have support from the Netherlands, so a date in Amsterdam would be appreciated too.

We British Yesfans, InverYes representing Scotland, Kokopelli representing Wales, and myself representig England, demand that you tour the UK. The NIA was a good arena, a nice size to play, and my first Yes concert, being only 17.

Remember your place of birth, Jon, Alan, Chris, Steve and Rick! I hear that the Marquee club is to re-open too - maybe play a nostalagia date there?

Actually, I'm happy with the 8-10 dates every winter. I mean the UK isn't that big.

Now your talking. Here in Oz we'd settle for 8 to 10 a decade. At the last count we've had 6 in the last 29yrs or put another way..........non in the last 28 yrs and 11 months.

But we always live with hope. If they do go to the UK next year (2003) make sure it is around Christmas time as I might be there then.

But guys I would support your campaign. Give me some email addresses and I will get typing.

Did you hear the one : A Scotsman, a welshman and and Englishman (and a Dutchman) go into a bar and the bartender
says..'what's this a Joke?'...not that funny I know ..but.

Yes, 8 - 10 gigs a year is wonderful....BUT it would be great to
see the boys in action in the open air in the warm etc etc.....
the last Open Air gig I saw them play was Reading 1975...then it rained, before that, Stoke ...then it rained...before that....QPr...it didn't rain then...Ooooh!!....


Come on YES do a GIG in Wales, a Gig in Scotland, a Gig in England (Please not London !) and a Gig in Netherlands......

Oh ! Yes and one in Ireland..for my mate Patrick in hospital.

Is there anyone out there who might be able to suggest e-mail addresses we can launch our 'Celtic/Dutch Campaign for more Gigs'..... too?
I am not too good at all this techno/web/it/electrobrainmelttechnostuff!...
BUT..I am willing too learn...so any ideas...
There's the ask Jon thingy on his website but that's still closed at the moment.

Eagle Records Address in London is pointless...the company are 'not very together' to say the least......

so....HELP!!!!!?


We Love When We Play (And So Do We Jon...And So Do We!!!).

Peace.
